Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Cut each noodle into 4 equal pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; place bell pepper halves on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until peppers soften, about 20 minutes.
- While peppers bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage and onion until browned, about 8 minutes. Add tomato sauce, garlic, and oregano and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes more.
- Remove peppers from oven and pour off any excess liquid. Leave oven on.
- Whisk ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and basil together in a small mixing bowl. Layer each bell pepper half with 2 tablespoons sausage mixture, 1 noodle piece, and 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture. Repeat layers and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each pepper. Place stuffed peppers on the baking sheet.
- Bake stuffed peppers in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers with a flat bottom will stand upright better when stuffed.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. You can also pre-bake the peppers for 10-15 minutes to soften them.
- Make sure the filling is cooked through: The filling should be cooked through before you stuff the peppers. You can cook the filling in a skillet or in the microwave.
- Pack the filling tightly: Pack the filling tightly into the peppers so that they hold their shape when baked.
- Bake the peppers at a high temperature: Bake the peppers at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius) for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the peppers cool before serving: Let the peppers cool for a few minutes before serving so that they are easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Lasagna stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover lasagna. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your lasagna stuffed peppers are perfect every time.
